Mazie Monday

Mazie Grace chillaxin' after playing with her Christmas Jingle Bell Balls!

Dearest peoples on the innernets,

It's me, Mazie Grace!  It's time for Mazie Monday.  All of us here in the Gang hope that all our dear friends on the innernets had the most wonnerfulest Christmas ever!

First, an update on me...I'm continuin' to heal from my operation.  I still don't particularly want to eat very much...mommy is so thankfuls we have the feedink tube.  I am thankfuls because of how very wonnerfuls it makes my tummy feel...Mmmmm...the warm already been chewed foods...slidin' into my tummy...it makes my belly feel all warms and cozy on the insides! It makes me purr just thinkin' 'bout it!  

And secondly, I got me some real cool presents from Santa Claws!  He bringed me all kinds of jingle bell balls!  Since I am blinds, all of my toys need to make noise so I will know where they is.  I play play played with them jingle bell balls all day yesterday.  I chased 'em, whapped 'em, growled at 'em, meowed at 'em, carried 'em around in my mouths and finally drowneded 'em in the water dish.  I have decided that jingle bell balls are way betterer toys than my former favorite toys...TAMPONS!

And, finallys, I am sad to report that my mommy has suffered a severe attack of them evil, mean boogers! They invaded her head on Christmas Eve night and she is in the fight of her life to git 'em outs of her head.  I know she is sick but she is completely gittin' on my last nerve with all the sneezin' and coughin' and nose blowin'...I sure hope this don't go on longs...I cannot have her upsettin' my sleeps schedule.

That's it for now.  I hope you all are havin' a good day after Christmas and to all of my friends in the UK, I hope your Boxin' Day is rockin'.  Remember on Mazie Monday, your beans have to stop what they is doin' when you walk into the room and start hummin' "Hail to the Chief".

Very truly yours,

Mazie Monday: I am sick

Dearest peoples on the innernets,

This is Mazie Grace speakin'.  Today is Mazie Monday.  Peoples, I'm afraid I gots bad news...there's somethin' wrongs...mommy is afraid it's bad wrongs...I am sick.  I don't wants to eat no more and I have loosed lots of weights.  I'm still real actives but...I do sleep a lot more now and I have gone from 9 lbs down to 7 lbs and 7 ounces...in a very short period of times.  

See, our vet retireds.  The vets that are left at the hospital are these goofy prissy snotty vets.  They think they know everything...mommy has told 'em and told 'em that somethin' is wrongs but they keep sayin' "her blood work is normal, there's nothing wrong"...well why am I loosin' weights and don't feel so goods?

So, tomorrow mornin' we is tryin' out another vet and hospital.  Mommy knowed this vet many many years ago when she first moved to Richmond.  He worked in a vet practice that mommy taked Ricky & Lucy to.  We are hopin' he can help me...

Mommy is real skeert...and I am, too.  I don't wants to be sick.  And after we just lost Jimmy so suddenly...well...mommy just can't take none of us bein' sick...it might just send her over the deep end, peoples.

So, please say a prayer for all of us.  And, if you wouldn't mind, please ask God to help this new vet to be able to help me.  I've got lots of Social Directin' I need to be doin' in the Whiskers & Purrs House...I'm really needed here.

Very truly yours,

Mazie Monday

Dearest peoples on the innernets,

This is Mazie Grace speakin'.  It is now times for Mazie Monday!  We have all been kinda sads over the weekend.  The vet's office called mommy on Friday and said our sweet Jimmy's remains was back from the crematoriums.  This is the hardest part for mommy...she says it's almost like havin' the kitty die all over agains.

Mommy bringed Jimmy home Friday night after work...

(You can click to biggify.  The engravin' says "Sweet Jimmy")

Mommy cried when she saw the urn...she said it was quite fittin' for this to be Jimmy's final restin' place...he loved sleepin' more than anybody we have ever meeted.  And...he drove mommy nutso tryin' to play with the string when she would nit.  So...havin' a sleepin' kitty layin' on a ball of yarn was perfect for Jimmy.

For those of you that watched us on The Learning Channel (TLC) special we was on, you know that we have a special place in our house for the urns to be placed...it's mommy's Grandma's antique cabinet.  It is real old and real pritty with shelves behind glass doors.  Jimmy is now next to Ricky, Lucy and Felix.

We is all so relieved to have Jimmy home...but so sad he can't play with us anymores.  But he is watchin' over us from heaven, along with the others, and we know that he knows we love him and always will.

That's it for today.  Remember on Mazie Monday your beans have to stop what they is doin' when you walk into the room and start hummin' "Hail to the Chief"!

Very truly yours,
Mazie Grace

Mazie Monday: The Messenger Visits Again

Dearest peoples on the innernets,

This is Mazie Grace speakin'. Today is Mazie Monday. I was so excited 'bout gittin' to write my Mazie Monday post that I almost couldn't make sleeps last night...I've got somethin' big to tell our friends on the innernets!

I know everybody knows that we had to say goodbye to our sweet Jimmy last week...he went to heaven very real unexpectedly. Mommy had no idea he was even sick...he was playin' and eatin' real good...and gived no indication that somethin' was even wrongs. We is all terribly sads but mommy is particularly sads. She feels so guilty...like she shoulda picked up that somethink was wrongs. She cried almost the whole dang weekends even though we was all on our bestest behaviours and gived her lotsa headbonks.

She was out in the back yard rakin' leafs and mowin' on Sunday. Somethin' 'caughted her eye...our backyard looks pretty much like crap 'cause mommy just did not have times to work on it this summer since she had to go to West Virginia to take care of her parents and her Aunt almost every weekend. The ivy has taked overs and weeds is everywheres. But she saw this...



See, back when our dear sweet Ricky Eugene Graves went to heaven (2004), lotsa mommy's friends gived her flower bulbs to plant a memory garden. Her sister gived her some real exotical bulbs called a Spider Lily. Mommy planted it when Ricky passed but then it didn't come up...until...2 years laters...it popped outs of the ground on the very day our sweet sister, Lucy Margarite Graves, went to heaven. Mommy had been so upset when Lucy died...her passin' kinda came up outta the blue, too...we knowed she had been sick but...we didn't think it would cause her to go to heaven. Mommy thought maybe them flowers bloomin' was a sign... a message from Lucy and God that everything would be okay...that she was happy and gonna watch over us. You can read all 'bout the dramatical event of how mommy found the spider lily bloomin' the first time here.

So...back to yesterday...mommy was workin' and cryin' in the backyard...she looked up and saw in all the dead weeds and the nasty ivy, bright green spikey leafs...she cleared away all of the cruddy stuff and there she saw the spider lillies poppin' up from the grounds. Mommy thought them bulbs had done gone and dried up or somethin' 'cause they haven't popped up outs of the ground one time since Lucy passed away...that was all the way back in 2007...



Now some people will say it was just a coincidence...but don't you think it's kinda odd that them bulbs didn't bloom for 2 years when we first planted them and then popped up when we was all so shocked and hurt 'bout our Lucy passin'...and then they didn't pop up agains until we was all upsets 'bout our Jimmy passin' so surprisingly...4 years later? We is all thinkin' it's poor little Jimmy lettin' us know that he loves us and knows that we loves him. We are hopin' it's Jimmy and God lettin' us know that we'll all be together agains one day...one big gigantical family. We are grateful for them Spider Lillies...and we are grateful that God lets us all have this time together...as a big furry family.

So that's my big news. We are still sads but it did make us feel a little better!

I guess that is it for today's edition of Mazie Monday! Please remember that on Mazie Monday your beans have to stop what they is doin' whenever you walks into a room and start hummin' "Hail to the Chief".

Mazie Monday: Ding Dong the Witch is Dead!

Dearest peoples on the innernets,

This is Mazie Grace speakin' and today is Mazie Monday! Well, my dearest peoples, there's reasons to rejoice every which way I turns around! First of alls...the Royal Weddink was wonnerfuls. I only gotted losted once. And, we all had us a good time!

Secondly, last nights the US of America opened up a can of whoop ass on Osama bin Laden. He was a bad bad man that killeded thousands of innocent peoples. I gots a very special message for Osama....

"Mr. Osama bin Laden, sir, you didn't think us dumb ol' infadels would ever be smart enough to find your sorry behind, now did you? You thoughted we was only lookin' for you unnerneath flat rocks and caves and stuff. Karma can be a biotch, Mr. Osama bin Laden, sir...you finally climbed all over Miss Karma's last nerve and she showed you who the real boss is. You is now swimmin' with the fishes and have gone to meet your maker. Justice is sweet."

Okay, I'm gonna go take me a naps 'cause I'm weared out from all the weddink and whoop ass can openin' from the last 48 hours. Remember, today is Mazie Monday...your beans have to stop what they is doin' whenever you walks into a room and start hummin' "Hail to the Chief".

Very truly yours,
